1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Who goes there?
King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Pull the other one!
King Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? Ridden on a horse?
King Arthur: Yes!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts!
King Arthur: What?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd you get the coconuts?
King Arthur: We found them.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
King Arthur: What do you mean?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Well, this is a temperate zone
King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
King Arthur: Please!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Am I right?

Down at an English fair,
One evening I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting
underneath the flair:
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
there they are standing in a row,
big ones, small ones, some
as big as your head,"
give 'em a twist a flick of the wrist,
that's what the showman said!
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
every ball you throw will make me rich.
there stands me wife,
the idol of me life,
singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Roll or bowl a ball,
Roll or bowl a ball,

"Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
(They're lovely!)
There they are standing in a row,
(1! 2! 3! 4!)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head,
(And bigger!)
Give em' a twist, a flick of the wrist,
that's what the showman said!
Now that I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts,
(Lada da daa da)
Every ball you throw will make me rich.
(Have a banana!)
There stands me wife,
the idol of me life,
singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
(All together now!)
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
(Harmony!)
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Roll or bowl a ball,
roll or bowl a ball,
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Singin' "Roll or bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
